Personal Expressions of Faith and Hope
There is a well-known saying, I believe originally made by St Augustine, that ‘Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die’
Augustine learnt this eternal truth from Jesus, he knew that resentment gnaws away in the embittered life of the hater; and that forgiving our neighbours is a way of loving others, and learning how to love ourselves better too. Because it brings sweetness rather than bitterness into our lives.
Forgiving helps make us complete and is an important virtue in perfecting our hearts and minds. When we hand our resentment over to Jesus and say ‘You take Care of it’ we can let a heavy burden go and move on in our lives.
Why not try letting go of any resentments you have?
Just Let It Go and hand things over to Jesus to handle.
